Promising Young Woman has notched up another big win today from the San Diego Film Critics Society, with Emerald Fennell’s debut feature receiving their prize for Best Picture. The drama also received the award for Best Actress for Carey Mulligan’s performance, and a runner-up slot for Fennell’s original screenplay.
Other big wins from the SDFCS included Chloé Zhao adding yet another Best Director award to her mantle for Nomadland. Does anyone have a shot at beating her for the win at the Oscars in April? It’s looking like a tough hill to climb. Riz Ahmed and Paul Raci continue their streak of picking up dual wins in the acting categories for Sound of Metal, earning the wins for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively. The critics group also awarded a special Body of Work prize to Steve McQueen for his accomplishment with the entirety of his Small Axe series of films.
